(Editor's note: The following blog was written by Mark McGraw, an associate editor on staff at ADVANCE .) It's movie night, and you're not interested in subtitles or surrealism. Maybe next week you'll go for the one with the "Winner: Best Foreign Language Read More...

If you've been following Jay's blog, " XY Files in and MT World ," recently, you know there have been some frightening reports of medical records being sold overseas. It's enough to make you hunker down in the States and demand your records stay local. Read More...

On the Record
September 30, 2009 11:24 AM by Cheryl McEvoy
With all the prep for next week's American Health Information Management Association Convention and Exhibit and our HIM Team of the Year coverage (Yes, we have a winner!), I've been neglecting my Google Alerts. Well, I found some time this morning to Read More...

Registry: Child's Play?
August 6, 2009 10:43 AM by Cheryl McEvoy
Call me a bandwagoner, but I just started reading Julie and Julia (Quite frankly, I'm just a wannabe foodie who wanted something to breeze through after being semi-forced into reading a 500-page sci-fi book). I was poring through Julie Powell's witticisms Read More...

ACE 09: Telling Transcription's Tale
July 31, 2009 1:23 PM by Cheryl McEvoy
The story at ACE today is all about...well, THE story. More specifically, how to show the value of narrative text so transcription can stay relevant in the switch to EHRs. But the "story" theme went beyond the record; in fact, it can represent several Read More...

Retail Clinic Check-up
June 25, 2009 3:30 PM by Lynn Jusinski
I'm what you might call "doctor phobic." I haven't had a check up since 2001, and that was required to get into college. After high school, I moved to the Philadelphia suburbs from quiet nook upstate in a rural area lovingly referred to as the "Polish Read More...

Doctors Face Patient Scrutiny
June 24, 2009 1:42 PM by Cheryl McEvoy
For the past few weeks, I've had Michael Jackson's "Somebody's Watching Me" stuck in my head. I blame Geico for making it the theme song for its ubiquitous ad campaign. (Seriously, that bug-eyed bundle of money is everywhere .) But today, the ditty popped Read More...

Thanks to Obama's rah-rah health care reform, the general public is turning an ear to EHR. But what exactly are they hearing? At first mention of EHRs in the stimulus package, news outlets swooped in with the "revolutionizing health care" angle. A national Read More...

March 11, 2009 9:39 AM by Lynn Jusinski
When you look at the signs, it should've been obvious. Wal-Mart started health care clinics in 2006, using eClinicalWorks software as EHRs for its 30 clinics. Last fall, Wal-Mart teamed up with personal health record (PHR) provider Dossia to offer some Read More...

February 27, 2009 10:37 AM by Cheryl McEvoy
It's Friday. The weekend is almost here. Friends are coming in from out of town. So of course, I'm gathering all the weird news I can to make for some interesting dinner conversation. And the great debate over patient privacy has turned up two gems: First Read More...

Abortion Records Go on Long, Strange Trip
February 24, 2009 4:05 PM by Lynn Jusinski
When patient records of women receiving abortions made their way from the Sedgwick County, KS, court to the Johnson County, KS, district attorney's office and then probably on to somewhere in Virginia and then back to Johnson County, KS, that's an issue Read More...
